The organizers of ShowMeCon 2014 were kind enough to offer Free Training Seats worth up to $6000 to top contributors. The winners this time around are EH-Netter, SephStorm, and a top contributor to our LinkedIn Group, Kurt Ellzey. Each of the winners will get their pick of one course offered at the event as well as entrance into the con for a great week of hacking education. Don;t forget to report back on the course and con. Congrats and have fun!! For those who didn't win, you can still get in on the action by getting a 5% Discount using Coupon Code: EHNSMC14.

I'd like to thank Don, and the ShowMeCon team for this opportunity, I'll attempt to attend the Network Defense course. Hopefully I can take what i've learned and apply it to my work, and my knowledgebase. Thanks again.
